Then you have this very long and absolutely great memoir by @okbjgm.bsky.social (writer/supervising producer on seasons 1 / 2) :
No Powell to trot out this time
I fucking hate how obvious and stupid this administration is. They literally started a war on the weekend knowing Mike Johnson won't call Congress into an emergency session, leaving Congress to spend the weekend tweeting "THIS WAR IS ILLEGAL" while MAGA murders children overseas with impunity.
i had a basilisk once, it was eaten by a larger basilisk. weirdly, from the past.
Check out the new horror/sci-fi show I’ve been working on! From the Duffer Bros. (of Stranger Things fame) and featuring Geena Davis, Alfred Molina, Alfre Woodard, and Bill Pullman.

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...
last night’s SOTU felt like a tawdry awards show… the people’s choice award only without, you know, the people’s choice.
i wish he didn’t find america so hot. maybe then he would stop raping it.
it’s amusing how many instagram posts i see that breathlessly declaim something like “THIS ANIMATED FILM FROM 1987 WAS ENTIRELY DRAWN BY HAND! EVERY FRAME!” as if that’s not pretty much how all 2d animation was done for the majority of the history of the medium.
Me with a scoop/exclusive
Five days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest, federal authorities “directed” NY law enforcement authorities to “stand down” their investigations related to Epstein, new documents released by the Department of Justice show.
Part of new Timeline on NY and Epstein.

“All of this shit is coded to say… erase all signs of woman hood. Age, bodyhair, autonomy, motherhood, thighs, creases. Adopt girlhood as the forever norm. Girlhood good. Womanhood bad.”
This has to be in the cannon of anti-fascist filmic primers.
Beautiful and urgent.
a great movie about why FASCISTS WILL NEVER MAKE GREAT ART… m.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ1v...
Weapons of War writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach has listened to this week's episode and provided a lot of notes and reactions, both to the production and our response to it. For instance:
reach out sometime, i have tea for a
month of sundays
equilibrium was the script where naren taught me how to break story the star trek way, and weapons i consider my first real script (destination was a mashup of acts from the senior level producers, i couldn’t deliver on my version of the story) risible as a lot of it is, it’s also my origin story.
in closing i would like to say this… THE FUCKING GONGS AND PAN PIPES, i gleefully and without reservation throw whoever was responsible for that under the bus…
like, in a good way. makes me feel like those three years of my life weren’t for naught.
what you have to understand about seaquest after the middle of season one and ph’s ascendancy as showrunner is tha there was no writers room, everyone was left to sort of… write their own thing. in essence every writer was do their own head canon with very little effort to maintain continuit.
i don’t need to dive into it, i’m just shocked people care.
sorry about all this guys but you caught me waiting to board a plane.
the chaodai were not intended to be so much about sinophobia (although, THE FUCKING PANPIPES so yeah) but more like year zero cambodia ruled by a pyschotic technocracy.
this kielbasa thing is the weirdest head canon ever
yeah… so we basically did seven of nine two years before voyager
where did you guys get adr outtakes?
fun fact - we knew the show was being cancelled so they used especially powerful charges for the final assault. the set was unusable after that.
kimura’s parents were japanese citizens who got caught behind the lines during the chaodai invasion of the montagnard confederation, hence her name.
by the by, i’m shocked you guys haven’t pitched a buddy cop show called “tubby stingray and kielbasa”.
